BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {MAY 2022}

 I'm not going to dwell of April, as it was A horrendous month

here in KZN and I'm happy to see the back of it and today we welcome

a new month and hopefully May will be much kinder to us all.

I have 5 products under review this month 2 are body products,

an eye make-up remover, a hydrating mist and a super expensive cream

 from a brand that has been on my wish list for several years.

AUGUSTINUS BADER

THE RICH CREAM

I never thought that I would ever be able to review any of the

AUGUSTINUS BADER products due to the super high price point,

however that changed with my 2021 John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar

as it included this full size The Rich Cream and to be honest it was one

of the products that made me opt for this particular calendar.

My review will only be posted in several months, as you know I like to

 fully try and test creams and serums, so there will be no quick review

here and hopefully I have good things to report back to you.

URIAGE

WATERPROOF

EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER

Having always used an eye make-up remover, since as long as I

 can remember, I do enjoy a Bi-Phase option and this is what drew

me to this one from the French brand URIAGE.

URIAGE isn't a brand that I haven't explored too much of, so

who knows this product, if good may just whet my appetite to try

more from this affordable brand.

SKIN PROUD

HYDRATING FACIAL MIST

I'm on a little journey with the brand SKIN PROUD, as it's my 

3rd product that I'm trying and there's one that I have already 

re-purchased and absolutely love. To read my quickie review on the

I am partial to a facial spray and it was only a matter of time before

I would add this to my collection.

ELEMIS

COOL-DOWN

BODY WASH

I seem to have an ELEMIS product to review for you most months

and May is no exception, as I have a body wash to report back on

and I can already tell you that it smells divine, which is exciting me

greatly and I cannot wait to get stuck into this product.

NUXE

RÊVE DE THÉ

REVITALISING

GRANULAR SCRUB

This was an "out of the blue" purchase for me and it was totally

 down to the NUXE consultant, who sold it to me, granted it was a 

combo of my favourite things, a very granular scrub and a divine

 fragrance. She also caught me, as I was on the look out for a new 

body scrub, but I wasn't heading to NUXE for one.

Newly launched I was hooked after one sniff and feel on the back of my hand,

 so I can assure you that my review will be full of admiration only.

as I would love to know.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES {JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2022}

 It's the beginning of March, which means it's time for my round up of

Monthly Favourites for January & February.

These are my personal "faves" of all the products that I have reviewed 

over the past two months and would recommend them all without 

any hesitation.

1.

INOAR

 +AMOR -SODIO

 MASK

Towards the end of 2021 I was very kindly gifted 2 products from 

INOARS's newly launched range +Amor -Sodio, which translated means

More Love Less Salt

+Amor -Sodio is a revolutionary range of sulphate free products.

After my first application I wasn't overly impressed, so on the 2nd

use I increased the amount I applied and left it on longer than the

recommended 3 minutes and WOW what it difference that change made.

My hair feels incredibly soft, shiny and fuller.

It leaves no oily coating on the hair shaft, so the hair doesn't

feel weighed down with product and now that I have my

 correct dosage and timings worked out, my hair smells & feels great

 every time and my hair appears to be truly loving this mask.

This is a "Highly Recommend" product.

ELEMIS

PRO-COLLAGEN

RENEWAL SERUM

In my eyes ELEMIS can do no wrong, as I have yet to use one of their

products that I didn't like or enjoy.

The Pro-Collagen Renewal Serum is a rejuvenating and firming serum that

 encourages renewal without any retinol.

It could not have been any easier to incorporate into my existing  

daily skincare regime.

In a "Beauty Nutshell" it's an effective, easy to use, lightweight

 Retinol Alternative Facial Concentrate

that can be used by all skin types.

If you’re after youthful and plump skin without any of the side effects

from Retinol products like dryness, redness or irritation, 

look no further, you’ve found the one.

BY TERRY

BAUME DE ROSE

HAND

This pink lightweight, yet velvety-rich formula glides on effortlessly, is quick 

absorbing and leaves that all important, non-greasy finish.

 Your hands are left feeling beautifully silky soft, smooth, moisturised

 and smelling of beautiful roses...

Simply the Baume de Rose Hand Cream is pure luxury for the hands.

SKIN PROUD

COOLING EYE SERUM STICK

The name of this product just spoke to me...

 Icicle Cooling Eye Serum Stick By Skin Proud

It's aimed at a younger demographic and Skin Proud believes in being

 transparent, cutting out the confusion, whilst being easy to use,

 100% vegan and clean products, with straight to the point ingredients.

Featuring a five-part hyaluronic acid complex, this instantly cooling balm

 freshens and tightens, whilst helping to lock in hydration for healthy

 under eyes.

Now this product hasn't replaced any of my current eye treatments,

 but it's rather a welcome extra addition.

If you are a "first timer" with an eye product, then this is a great one.

I personally find it so easy to just pick up and apply

several times a day, as I adore the packaging, the swipe around the

eye application and its instantly cooling effect.
